The purpose of the Symposium is to commemorate the life, work, and
foundational views of Kurt Gödel, perhaps the greatest logician of the
twentieth century. In the spirit of Gödel's work, the Symposium will also
explore current research advances and ideas for future possibilities in
the fields of the foundations of mathematics and logic. The symposium
intends to put Gödel's ideas and works into a more general context in the
light of current understanding and perception. The symposium will also
present various implications of his work for other areas of intellectual
endeavor such as artificial intelligence, cosmology, philosophy, and
theology.

The Symposium will take place 27-29 April in the Celebration Hall of the
University of Vienna, famous for its architectural beauty and the murals
of Klimt. More than 20 lectures by eminent scientists in the fields of
logics, mathematics, philosophy, physics, and theology will provide new
insights into the life and work of Kurt Gödel and their implications for
future generations.
